Note
We will not make definitive decisions here and now:
Proposed structure and content will be defined by consensus after the WHO team have reviewed and addressed all comments.
We won’t discuss fine-grained decisions on variable coding or the structure of the data:
This is constrained by the WHO Global Clinical Platform.
We will not vote on specific variables:
The WHO team will use these discussions to support the trade-offs required to reach the lightweight end-product.
After the first meeting:
The WHO technical team will compile a new version of the Case Report Form (CRF) based on the discussions
We may ask you to complete prioritisation surveys if there are difficult specific decisions
We will reconvene in a second meeting to iterate this discussion
Another meeting may be required to finalise and ensure consensus (not yet planned).
To develop a Case Report Form (CRF) to provide a harmonised, lightweight, and near real-time clinical surveillance system for dengue that enables facilities and national programmes to monitor clinical outcomes and support care quality improvement.
